A former educator, Betsy is now a full-time artist and illustrator. One of her primary goals as a mixed media artist is to make art more accessible and to engage her viewers, adults and children alike, by drawing them in through the use of color, movement, shapes, and story-telling. Her work is notable for the use of bright, inviting color, creative energy and whimsical imagery. Betsy is inspired by parenthood, patterns in nature, organic shapes, vintage and contemporary children’s book illustrations, mid-century modernism, the kitchen, expressionism, the concept of home, and her life by the sea.
Betsy lives on the coast of Maine with her professor husband and their two daughters.
